The Michael Jackson story -- told by kids

About to buy a ticket to see "This Is It"? Stop right there. FCBC (For Children, By Children), a local children's theatre and entertainment group, is producing "Expressions of M.J.," which looks to be a retrospective of the pop legend's career as interpreted by Chicago students -- and you won't even need glasses to see all the 3-D action.

The dance-heavy show goes down at 7 p.m. on February 18, 19 and 25 and March 4 and 5 at the CICS-Longwood Auditorium (1309 W. 95th). Tickets are $7 in advance and $10 at the door ($5-$7 for students), and can be ordered by calling (708) 769-9880.
